good idea; probably the easiest way to do that would be to extend the potd DataEngine. my suggestion: * create a service for the Providers source that has "addProvider" and "removeProvider"; this would save the results in a config file (or separate .desktop files for each; either would work fine) * have a generic, built-in, provider that uses a provided URL as the image location that uses those * check for such defined providers on potd startup and offer them alongside the other providers then adding support for this in the plasmoid would be simple and straightforward. extra points for adding a QScript backend much like the comics engine did so more complex providers can be added / downloaded from the web. -- Aaron J.
